It is the same thing everywhere (Europe, North America, Asia etc) the price of snacks and drinks in Cinemas is always 3 or 4 times the regular price... it is NOT a Nigerian thing... that is how the Cinema businesses are run worldwide (even in India with their Cheap cinema tickets).

dabossman:


While I get your point, a lot of things are overpriced in Nigeria; especially basic things that we attach some pseudo class to in this country. When you compare prices here with those abroad sometimes, you just wonder.

However, the business owners are not entirely to blame. The cost of running their establishment makes it that way. Power supply is one key factor. Nigeria is a difficult place to live in and do business.

People like you are the problem of this country

Paying excesssively for something that doesn’t worth it is madness.

So because am at Eko Hotels, a bottle of water that we all know is N50 should be sold for N500; same content same quality. Come on grow up bro. There are other things you can do with your hard earned money, not contributing it to the capitalist wealth.

An 100% increment should be the maximum limit, max of N100 for same bottle sold for N50.

A big bottle of Eva Water costs 1000naira at Intercontinental hotel.

Pizza and Burger are relatively cheaper here in Nigeria than USA!

Pray for good leaders? grin grin grin grin - you are obviously a mor0n, you don't pray for good leaders, you elect good leaders and ask for accountability from them or you move for things like recall or impeachment...

I disagree. I dont think anybody has the right to dictate to anybody the price for their goods or services unless it is goverment owned directly or indirectly. You can as well put a price on their tickets. Nobody is forcing anybody to buy. If you feel its ridiculous keep your money. When there is low demand it automatically drives down price.

In Silverbird Cinema @ Ikeja it is mandatory. Except you want to pay the #2500 without collecting the popcorn & softdrink. I was surprised when the cashier told me that with or without popcorn & softdrink to go in is #2500 for any movie.

I doubt that, although i have not been to the cinemas for some time, i think it depends on the ticket. Perhaps that ticket is 2500 accompanied with drinks. Some times they do promo normal ticket price accompanied with drinks, sometimes it has to do with the kind of movies some tickets are more expensive than others. But nobody will force you to pay higher for drinks.

The Cinema business makes most of their money on inflating the price of snacks and drinks by 3 or 4 times the regular price.. it is a worldwide thing and NOT a Nigerian thing... Mr Local Chicken... that is where the bulk of their profits come from and that is how they stay in Business and expand... If you think I am lying please check it on Bing or Google.

This is business, it's not concerned with what right thinking people want...it's about staying afloat and making profit.

Have you ever run a business in Nigeria?
Pay rent? Electricity? The drink didn't disappear and appear in their cinema, it was transported there at a cost. Someone is selling the drink to you, he/she would be payed salary. That drink wasn't chilled by sango...profit is also factored into the price, and you think N300 is much? Smh!

Of course she has been in other countries.
Same Nigerians that'll queue in other countries airport.
The moment they touch down in Nigeria, you see them fighting and pushing each other. You begin to wonder if it's same people you saw few hrs ago. Being in other countries doesn't come into play here.

This is basic economics.

You've no right to tell a business how much to charge for its products or services. Do you know their cost of operations? Taxes? Salaries to be paid? Levies? And yet have to make profits?

If you don't like how much a product is being sold, come with yours or watch the movie at home!

Kate ny dey form na correct babe.
Scarcity, not allowing outside drinks and the emergency mentality of going into the hall makes people feel they have no choice in the matter even though they still have a choice on whether to buy or not to buy. At the end, it's 300 naira take it or leave it.They ain't forcing anyone. They have every right to sell at the price they choose.It's up to you to choose whether you want to continue with their service or boycott.

go and ask about the tax eko hostel pays land use,company tax,lassra,environmental dues,how many staff they have (and of course staff wages,pensioners,health insurance,),premium for eko hostel insurance against all sorts including fire..,how much it costs to run power generator with diesel..............then you can see that they are justified to sell 150 naira coke for 500naira..............compare all these cost to the cost a small kiosk incure

Go & verify it yourself @ silverbird cinema ikeja. This was last week saturday. They have the new fee typed & posted in the ticketing hall. They stated that the management has reviewed the price & its now #2500 for movie & popcorn/drinks inclusive. I told the cashier that I want no popcorn & drink and he said I would still pay the #2500. I had to pay the #5000 for me & my partner & collect the popcorn/drinks even though I had something else with me..

Bro you got it all wrong. You don't use the cost of accommodation in Highbrow or low cost area to fix a price of a consumable commodity. If you reside in the US or even Europe the price of consumable commodity such as Water or Cola in Cinemax or Funspots shouldn't be too diffrent from price you get outside! In Germany you can get a Cola for €1.50 and in your normal retail shops in the neigborhoood you get same Cola for €1!

It's like complaining why drinks are sold 300 percent in club houses. This is the only way the entertainment industry can make money. It's a cash fast business. It's even good at cinemas, you can come with your drinks. It's not a must you buy from the cinemas. If you no get money, stay your house na
